Craters Stofler and Faraday

There are some very fine craters to be found in the lunar highlands among the look-alike craters there. Two that I have included in this sketch are craters Stofler (125 km.) and Faraday (70 km.). Many of the craters in the region have large smooth regions on their floors. The remains of the eastern wall of Stofler form a rampart between older Stofler and Faraday and can be seen near Stofler’s center. The Faraday impact moved the east wall like an enormous excavator. On the south rim of Faraday sit two more overlapping craters, Stofler P (33 km.) and Faraday C (30 km.). That makes 4 fairly large overlapping craters in a small lunar region and many, many more small ones beyond resolution.Sketching:

I am amazed at a sketch such as this. I get so lost in the lunar highlands, even with Rukl's atlas by my side. You inspire me to give sketching the highlands a try ( I've stayed away from those areas in my sketches ).Thanks!Randolph

Frank, it takes a lot of courage to take on a challenge such as this one. The number of features you observed must have been overwhelming. Yet, you managed to draw them all in a superb way, adding a lot of depth and emotion to your work. Thank you very much!
